    ESPN put together their latest NFL power rankings. Their experts got together to rank all 32 teams... the Cowboys landing 15th overall... They are second in the NFC East, however, with only the Philadelphia Eagles (No. 5) ahead of them. The Washington Commanders (No. 20) and New York Giants (No. 24) round out the division.

    I think Carolina will vie for the division title and a playoff spot. I like the top two teams. Tampa Bay, you got a coach on the hot seat... So I'm going to pick Atlanta for fourth place.
